La Guadalupana

only on tumblr to check alyssa’s blog and listen to sad emo music from high school 

I know I run a book blog so maybe this isn’t the right platform for this, but girls: Please look out for other girls. Tonight I was stuck at a bus stop in Shoreditch circa 2 AM and saw another young woman getting harassed by a drunk, aggressive dude, and at first I thought, “She’s got it under control.” But then he started touching her and I went “No, that’s definitely not right.” So I barged over and shoved him out of the way and said, “Beth?? Oh my God, how are you, I haven’t seen you since grade school!” And this girl I’d never seen before in my life threw her arms around my neck and whispered, “You are an angel, thank God.” We talked for fifteen minutes, the creep lost interest, I watched her get on the bus and I will sleep so much better knowing she got home in one piece. If you see something weird happening, intervene. The worst that can happen is embarrassment, and I think that’s worth the risk when you consider the alternative.

Every platform is the right platform for this.

Thank you

I don’t know who this white boy is but I trust him

Looking back at this picture and I realize that I no longer feel that loneliness and I am so happy. I was able to cut off the bad people from my life in that time period. Moving to Northridge was the best decision of my life. Never let a man take away your spirit, he will never deserve it.
